i like the idea of using the eye toy as a security camera, how do you do it? and yeah, downloading games while at work is a great time saving idea!

Wow, I had no idea it would work over the internet. I mean I was sure there would’ve been some dodgy software someone would’ve made to make it work… but that’s awesome that it’s already supported. That’s a much handier feature than I understood it to be. I especially like Tosh’s idea to start downloads while at work. Granted, where I work you can’t use the internet for personal use so it wouldn’t work for me… but if I found a local hot spot I could probably accomplish most of it on a break. Or I’d like a feature like the 360′s got where if you have downloads going and you shut down the console it will go into a “download mode” where it keeps running until the downloads finish up and then powers itself off.

That’s a really cool idea! I’ve already got an iPod for all my music but I’d love to setup this up to stream some TV to my PSP. Currently I’ve been sending them from the Tivo to the PSP… but I have limited space that way. This way I could load it all up on my PC and use the PS3 to get it to my PSP. Thanks for the info guys. I knew I was missing something.

I was kinda interesting in the fact that future games can allow you to play PS3 game on your PSP with remote play, Like Lair.

And yes your missing a few points Jimmy.

First with this new update you don’t need to leave your PS3 on. It’s internet connection not just your Local WiFi. So say you have videos/movies music games on your PS3 at home in Where every. Hop on a plane with your PSP, come to California, start up your PSP and access anything on your system at home. When your done you can turn your PS3 off again remotely.

With the new PSP Slims you can even use the TV out to watch on any other TV while away from home. In EU and Pal regions when they get DVR functions you can watch what you recorded at home anywhere.

And Like Tosh said. you can log onto your PS3 while not at home and start to download new demos/games trailers from PSN so they are ready for you when you get home

@JimmyStewart

Yes your missing the part about it also working over the internet..so for example you can keep your entire music collection on the PS3 and listen to songs at work or a wi-fi spot.

Another use at home is to listen to music off your PS3 while working somewhere else in the house..or use the screen based stuff if a significant other is using the t.v to watch a broadcast show etc…

In addition to the pragmatic things Tosh already suggested.
